The future of furniture is here – rent your home furnishings

Renting furniture is a response to a more eco-conscious society, paired with ever-changing interior trends and an increase in the home rental market. In an industry ruled by fast furniture, where 22 million pieces of furniture are thrown away annually in the UK, renting furniture could be the answer.

Better for the environment

Renting your furniture uses the "reduce and reuse" approach. Reusing pieces slows down production needs, meaning that less furniture is thrown into landfills and fewer recourses are needed to make new furniture, resulting in fewer emissions being released. If you decide that you no longer want the furniture you chose, you can simply return it, avoiding the landfill altogether.

Find your style

Renting furniture is also a good option if you have just moved house or are renovating your current home, as it allows you to test out different styles. This approach might even save you money in the long run, as you may be less inclined to change your mind if you have tried pieces of furniture out first. Also ideal for those who rent their homes, renting furniture means that if you decide to move, you don’t have to worry about what to do with your existing pieces – you just send them back.

Keep up with the trends

Keeping your home fresh with the latest trends can be an expensive process that leaves you with excess furniture. When renting your furniture, you can simply swap pieces for something more on-trend when the time comes for updating your decor, offering flexibility to people who don’t want to commit to one set style. Renting furniture is also an ideal option if you are hosting guests in your home and want to impress them with a statement piece, but return it at a later date.

The pocket-friendly way

Renting furniture can be better for your pocket, with most renting sites offering affordable pay monthly options for high-quality, high-fashion pieces. For example, this Cohen Media Unit from Montyspace.com can be rented out for only £10 a month.
